A HUGE AND FABULOUS GIVEAWAY FROM BROWN!!!

Last year I showed a house that I had decorated that was across the street from my own house. In the breakfast area, I used a large, contemporary styled lantern.

The lantern came from BROWN, a fabulous lighting and decor shop in Houston owned by the talented Jill Brown. Afterwards, Jill was kind enough to host a giveaway of the same lantern here on Cote de Texas. Needless to say, the giveaway was a huge success and many of you entered in hopes of winning.

Here's the lantern we gave away. The winner had the choice of the 4 lights or 1 light with an Edison bulb. She chose the 4 lights, if memory serves me correct!

BROWN is located in Houston in a charming house-like setting with Zen styled landscaping.

Jill has a certain aesthetic and everything about her and her store reflects it. She is a true original, with a great sense of style and presentation. Here, for a party for the magazine Garden & Gun, she set up an old-timey store on the covered front porch. These were the goodies for the guests.

Although BROWN's specialty is lighting fixtures, one area of the store is set up for general goods. It seems as if Jill sells everything - from antique copper pots to candles.

As always, everything has Jill's "look" about it. She loves Belgian styling, but she also very much into American antiques.

Even the design of her web site is uniquely Jill. You can view her web site at www.shopbybrown.

Or, you can choose to enter the website by the fanciful THING-FINDER, located HERE.

Here is a small selection of her wares, as sold on 1st Dibs. Jill sells antique light fixtures and a line of new ones that she designs herself under the label Far-Fetched.

The store changes often - it never looks quite the same from one day to the next. It's like visiting a magical place, you never know what fabulous treasure you are going to find at BROWN.

So, what is the giveaway you ask? Have I tortured you enough?

The giveaway today is this original light fixture from BROWN. It's a little hard to see exactly - but it's made of hand carved wood, painted a distressed light gray - perfect for today's trendy look. It has five lights that extend from the center column on gracefully carved iron arms. Each arm has a hanging tassel, also made of painted gray wood. The light fixture is hand crafted of antique wood and iron and has a retail value of $3,100. Yes, $3,100.!!!! And it can be yours - if you win the giveaway!

Another view of the gray wood and iron light fixture.

And looking up at it from the bottom. Disregard the chains - they are just used to hold up all the chandeliers.

HOW TO WIN:

All we ask that you do is visit www.shopbybrown and go to either the store or the 1st Dibs site or both. Look around at what is for sale and pick one item that speaks to you personally. Then, come back here to the blog comment section and tell me what you picked and why! That's it!!!

If you really want to be nice and you have a twitter account, please be so kind to tweet about the giveaway as a thank you to Jill.

Remember, if you post anonymously, be SURE to leave your name and email address in case you win!! If there's no email address, you can't win. :(

The contest will run this week and close on Friday at 11:59 p.m.

Good luck to everyone and a huge, huge thank you to Jill Brown for hosting this wonderful giveaway!!!

For a peek at Jill's house, read a story I ran several years ago HERE. The pictures were taken before I knew what I was doing with a camera, so be kind!!

Wish we had a shop like that here! I love some of those tables but I really love no. 001 from Mercantile, those white glass mortar and pestle pair. I would use them daily in my kitchen. They look modern, simple and timeless.pve

Joni, what a giveaway! Fabulous!! I am in love with this store, makes me want to jump on the next plane and go down and visit, am due for a trip down south and will try to include this when I go next spring, seriously gorgeous store and if I had one, thats exactly how I would want and expect it to look!!!! That room you decorated is also totally gorgeous!I love the lanter 037, but truth is I sawa a ton of things I would be thrilled to own and could happily find a home for!FYI, your link above is not working, think you forgot to add the .com:)Fingers crossed!!

Thank you for sharing this great resource. Love the website. Under "Wall," I am loving the no. 23 "seagull" print. It reminds me of Va. Beach and the Outer Banks of NC. I am also loving her science influence! Also liked the 1stDibs items but more in the market for wall art right now.

You always have the best giveaways and Brown has a wonderful shop. There's a custom handmade lantern on 1st Dibs that caught my eye and a pair of cement table lamps, I always need lamps. Thank you to both of you for this giveaway!

I love that 007 metal table. what a cool end/side table that would be in my very traditional living room! A statement piece for sure! I was just telling my husband that I wanted to visit Brown, and hopefully I will have to in order to pick up my new chandelier! :)

I'm loving the 021 amber glass chandelier. It would look amazing over our black four poster bed. The giveaway chandelier and a pair of those driftwood lamps also would be right at home in our house. :)

I was having touble with the link. I did find the store online. The link may not be working because the (dot.com) is missing.Perhaps I will get an extra entry for perserverence. :)I love the Napolean III chairs found on her 1st Dibs site. I am crossing my fingers SO badly for this lovely chandelier. You should see what hangs above my dining table. Horrific. I love Brown!

No. 021 is fabulous for a little more elegant lantern...I think I'd order it with multi bulbs rather than the Einstein bulb.No. 024 looks like a really handsome fixture too....No. 25 is wonderful.No. 022 is still great looking and I'd love to have it! I've got to make a trip to Houston soon, just to go to Brown!

I remember the last time you offered this stunning giveaway from Brown. Wondrous! I cannot BELIEVE you and Brown are offering this again! Thank you...

I definitely fell in love with the beautiful Gateleg Table on the Brown site ~ Products:Furniture:Tables:oo4. It has a lovely patina and the most adorable carved-paw feet. It would look stunning in my house... Now I just need to get Husband to drive down to Houston and buy it. :D

What an exciting giveaway, Joni, and thanks for introducing us to jill's store. I love so many things on her site and at 1stdibs. My favorites are the antique Napoleon III butcher block (I wish I had a kitchen big enough for it); the iron 2-light chandelier and the pair of sand-blasted mortars and pestles (no. 001). Brown is definitely a site to bookmark and return to often.

By the way, I love your neighbor's dining room...great job.Best...Victoria

on 1st dibs there are a wonderful pair of painted iron and wood french sconces that would look lovely in my dining room on either side of my buffet...the chandelier giveaway would be perfect in my lr...thanks for the thoughtful giveaway...jnmalik@me.com

What a generous offering. Thank you for the opportunity! You know that when I see a new post, I get giddy? Love your photos and research that you share :)I loved many things on the Brown website and would have to say that the item that spoke to me was the dog painting. #1 in Walls. I collect old dog paintings and that would join my pack quite nicely!Thanks againJamie

What a great giveaway! Thanks, Joni and Jill. I need new table lamps for our bedroom. I think #19 would be perfect - curvy feminine lines but rustic, masculine wood. It's very hard to choose they are all so unique.

Thank you for a wonderfully generous giveaway - I can hardly wait til Friday! Besides the little felted giraffes with the sweet faces (made me smile!) I am smitten with Brown's lamp No. 025. The horizontal line of the black shade perfectly balances the movement carved into the base. A work of art in itself and so Belgian!

I love the light 006 on her site. The ceiling light that looks like a crown. My husband's family is french, and so many of their things have that motif. She has a lovely website, also. Love the graphics and design.

Brown looks like a fabulous store to visit---so much "eye candy", and I am lucky to be only 50 miles away! My favorite on the site is the mortar and pestle. It looks to be out of glass. I love to cook and this would add character and function to my kitchen. The wonderful chandelier for the giveaway would be perfect in my shabby chic dining room. Hope to win. mph007@yahoo.com

I am in the process of selecting lighting for my home! I love the copper lanterns (and all lighting really) but I was really drawn to the Saint Bernard picture under the wall art section. Too cute for my son's room!

I am completely drawn to the old school charts of insects. I am terrified of bugs (I can put hot wax on my body and rip hair out but insects make me cry..) and yet something about the school charts....debokate@yahoo.com

That unusual amber gold Venetian chandelier on Jill's 1st dibs site just sends me! Those little hand blown flower drops, the golden tones within the glass, it would be just perfect in my living room that gets the afternoon sun. I can dream can't I?

Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway! I would love to visit her store! I would pick 011, crystal dome light, from her website. I am hoping to redo my master bath and that would be a courgeous addition!jkempf1@hotmail.com

Oh my! I went to 1st Dibs and fell in love immediately with the Gilt Wood Chandelier with 6 Lights. And I know exactly where I would use it----on my second floor foyer. But I'd use YOUR prize in my dining room. It's lovely!! thanks so much for this opportunity.Nancy Mason

Ooops, forgot my e-mail address for when you draw my name and I win! I'm Nancy Mason and I loved the Gilt Wood Chandelier with 6 Lights on 1st Dibs. I adore your prize----so generous!Nancy Masonnancymason55@gmail.com

What a beautiful chandelier! I would chose the antique dog painting with the big gold frame. I have a whole wall covered in old oil paintings of dogs and this would fit in perfectly!svahn.nbpt@comcast.net

Hi Joni,I love the wall sconce no.007ffat Brown...fabulous...love everything..The giveaway really speaks to me as I've been searching for the perfect chandy for my breakfast room and this is it...there is a ceiling fan there now...what a crime...thanks for the advice last week...floors are done..yay..now on to lighting remedies..plz, plz I need this!!!Your devoted follower!Sharon

What a generous giveaway! That fabulous light would be perfect in the sunroom I am building next year. On the site I love the large antique mirror leaning against the wall, which is designated No. 005.

How do you choose just one or two things that speak to you when you are in love with it all? My top two would be 037 and 021. It's always great when I see Cote de Texas in my inbox...I know I am going to be delighted!

Since your posting of the house you did last year I fell in love with the Custom Lantern with 4 Lights over the Dining Table. It has references to the past yet is so simple and modern. I would use it in my Library where it would fit in with all the rich and textured fabrics and a treasured art wall installation. Markmjminfl@mac.com

I am in the process of building a home in Houston and am picking out lighting right now. So, the crystal chandelier no. 023 speaks to me - but all the lighting does - Brown is the best! Love your blog - it has been such a tremendous source of inspiration throughout our building process - thanks so much!!

I LOVE this light. I want this light! I am going to start building a custom home on Greyton Lane in the next few months. This light would be perfect for my French inspired house. I love the the rare antique hand-made Iron measures. Those are a great accessory. I must go in this store.

Yowzers! What beautiful light fixtures and furnishings. I am in LOVE with the chandelier you are offering as a giveaway but I am also drooling for the "Pair Custom 5 Light Iron Sconces". Those would be beautiful flanking my fire place. Thanks, again!

Love the pictures of the rooms.. especially the bamboo shades and drapes.. a great combination! Thanks for hosting this most gracious giveaway.. There was so much on the site that I "needed"! But I think I found the light for over our dining table..007ff. Rustic, metal, oblong.. curvacious.. Perfect.. Fingers crossed. xo marlis

I ADORE the 1940 vintage handblown Murano chandelier with pink and blue flowers. It looks like the ultimate little girl (and not so little girl) birthday cake. It is the essence of fantasy and evokes Marie Antoinette and the Petit Trianon. Ever since I can remember, I was drawn to the ultra feminine, and this is it!

The crown light jumped out at me. I love, love, love it! It would be a jewel hanging in any room. I can't wait to visit this store now. Thank you so much for introducing us and for this fabulous giveaway!

Oh my. Everything she has is gorgeous! I went to the 1st Dibs site and fell in love with the Vintage French Bronze and Crystal Chandelier. I am already mentally moving chandeliers around in our house...just imagining! What a generous giveaway!

I live in Houston but haven't been by the store. I will definitly go now and bring all of my friends! I love the no. 016 ff. I am redoing the lighting in my kitchen and a couple of these would look great above my kitchen island! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!!

I'm supposed to be getting ready to leave town, but had to enter this wonderful give-away. The Bronze Chandelier with 8 Lights, Art Nouveau, from France on 1st Dibs is exquisite. Thanks to you both for the opportunity!

The house you decorated is beautiful! Wow!This is an amazing giveaway, i can't resist entering, the chandelier is amazing! I went to the shop, and i would choose a wall sconce, i didn't see a name but it was #006 ff., and it was yummy!

I love the beautiful green glass lamp base, #017 and I've always loved the old, clear glass bottles and lamp bases at Brown. When the holidays come around I have to have a candle that Jill Brown carries that looks and smells like a loaf of warm, sweet maple bread.

There are so many unique items, and I would love to go pick around the store in person. One of my favorite items online is the blue hanging light made from an old drum. This would be so cool for a vintage style nursery or for a cool library nook!

Thank you soooo much Joni and Jill for this amazingly generous giveaway..the chandi is gorgeous! I am so happy you led to Brown's sites..what eye candy..wish Jill could open a shop like hers here in NH. I loved so many things there but found myself drooling over 2 chandies..01 and 15..yes I'm feeling greedy..want them both!!!!!!I also took the tour of Jill's home..we are polar opposites in decor but I'm in love with her "oh so original style". I kept going back to the pigeon prints,(I would love to know where to find some!) and her court yard...I felt like I could walk right through the page with my cup of coffee and news paper and sit for a long while. The simplicity and balance of the wood, iron, stone and greenery has such an organic calming effect.Joni I also just love the home across the street you have featured...simply beautiful. I always look forward to receiving your latest posting via my email!

Wow! i love the 1st dibs website- so cool! i especially love the hand made custom 3 light hanging fixture! my husband and I are in the process of re-doing our kitchen/breakfast room area and i am busy shopping for light fixtures!

I HEART the Vintage French Bronze and Crystal Chandelier - what an elegant and beautiful statement piece! I don't think my ceilings are tall enough for it but who knows - may have to give it a try! What a great giveaway and so fun to peruse this wonderful assortment of items. Thanks!

I would choose the wood trestle table, no. 009. I have a newly built but "old," rustic looking stone French style cottage that needs to be furnished from top to bottom. The trestle table would be the perfect choice for my dining area and would look right in character with my octagonal terra cotta floors and wood beamed ceilings. Of course, the lamp would look amazing in my bedroom. I love Jill's style and been salivating over her things for quite some time!

LOVE IT ALL! :) I really like the simple wall sconce no 003 ff! Been searching far and wide for simple yet beautiful outdoor lanterns...and they just may be found here in Houston! I should have known Brown would have them! Crossing my fingers and legs!Julie JAlford23@comcast.net

We are building a new home in Birmingham, Alabama and I've been on the hunt for unique lighting that isn't fussy or trendy. I just checked out Brown's 1stDibs site and I think I've found a one-stop shop for all of the lighting in our new home. In fact, I just Google Mapped Brown's store and it is exactly 675 miles from Birmingham. I think I need to fly out there and drive back a U-Haul full of fabulous Brown lighting. There is one light in particular that I am loving. It's the "Hand-wrought very simple 4 light custom chandelier". I am a big fan of things being symmetrical and this clean streamlined design is big and packs a powerful punch!

I remember the last giveaway! I think I said a few prayers, lol. I love everything she has on the site and 1st dibs. Her selection is amazing, the wood and the glass! Can't wait to see her soon to open selection.This fixture would be perfect for the place I am in dire need of one! Put my name in the hat please!Thank you for the giveaway, Joni. Beautiful, as always.Teresaxoxo

Ahhh, so much to want; what a beautiful store! My favorite is the carved chandelier, no. 15. I think it would be a fabulous finishing touch for my master bedroom. Thanks Joni for arranging this great giveaway!roserichard1961@gmail.com

What a wonderful shop! I love the wall sconce No. 5 ff. It's scale has so much presence. And I love the way that the aged metal and linen shade is both old and new at the same time. Such a thought provoking little light. Thanks.

WOW. This truly is such a fabulous store. And this light fixture is just the answer I've been searching for, for our "new" kitchen. We've painted, updated the table + chairs, curated some new and old accessories in fun ways and added a new rug, in a mini-makeover attempt... But, have yet to find the perfect light fixture. And I know that this gorgeous gray wood and iron fixture is THE ONE. Although there was SO much to love at Brown. I'm especially drawn to the no. 006 wall sconce - the dreamy, five arm design, in that fantastic weathered metal finish is to die for! A couple of those would add a fantastic touch to another room in our home we've been working on - our front, formal living room/future dream library :-) Thanks so much for the opportunity. I'm crossing my fingers, BIG time, for this one!

I absolutely love the light fixture you displayed. We just moved from Dallas to Kansas City but when I go back to visit my two best friends (from TCU) then I will most definitely be stopping in to BROWN. Thank you so much for your blog. You have inspired my decorating (not sure how much my husband loves you) haha.Thanks again!!Arleyarleyann@gmail.com

Joni, I do not need the lantern, even though it is very beautiful. I just wanted to say that this store is amazing and displayed so beautifully. The owner has done a nice job of a mix between old and new. Thanks for sharing her information with us. Good luck to the winner. Richard from My Old Historic House.

I absolutely LOVE this store, and what a generous giveaway! Believe it or not, the fixture that is the giveaway would be exactly what I would purchase (although I would spend hours and $$$$$$ in the store if I had the chance to...). I love this style and how "airy" it is.

Jill has a wonderful concept & her displays "invite" you in. I wish I would have known of her shop earlier- left Houston yesterday. Something to look forward to for the next trip.

Copper fixtures are a favorite of mine and the lighting caught my eye. Unique items are always fun and add personality to a home. Thank you for hosting the giveaway and introducing the readers to Brown.

WOW, Joni, this would look fabulous in my bedroom! Seriously - I've been dying for one like it since I saw them, but haven't had the money to get one! I absolutely love the giveaway chande, but in looking around her website, fabulous as you described, I love no 003 ff for my foyer - such a fanciful pendant, and I've always loved no. 010, the antique snare drum turned pendant! GORGEOUS - all of it! I have my fingers and toes crossed for this one! xo,A

I love vintage things (I recently acquired a vintage croquet set that just makes me smile), and I love that she titled that section "things"! I am drawn to the abacus, probably because of my love of math (I am an accounting geek) and the mix of metal and wood. I can't even imagine owning such a fabulous chandelier, but would certainly give it a loving home:)Thank you, Maria Proctor treeamigosjp@bellsouth.net904-504-3030

Oh, I so wish we had a store like that here. It is so beautiful and that chandelier is amazing!!!As a matter a fact I would love any of her lighting, it is so unique. I am on the look out for sconces and I have to say it is a tough decision with all of her wonderful options.Thank you for your great blog, I love reading it!

There were two items that I thought were exceptionally beautiful. THe first was a mirror (no5) and the second was a lantern (no 37). After some thought, I would have to choose the mirror. I have a new appreciation for antique mirrors instead of reproduction pieces from reading several of your posts. Thank you so much for always posting such thoughtful and engaging information. I have learned a great deal from your blog.

When I saw your giveaway my heart started beating faster than it did in my boxing class this morning! I found Brown on 1st Dibs and then "follow" them via your blog. I actually recommended my FAVE lantern - the iron and glass 4 light lantern (no. 022 ff) to a friend of mine and she bought it from 1st dibs a couple of years ago. I figured that if I couldn't have it (yet) then I wanted someone I really like to! It looks amazing over her kitchen table, which is actually quite contemporary. So, until I can have my own, I visit hers. Truly, I have looked and looked for another option and I keep coming back to the timeless lantern as nothing else comes close!

What a wonderful giveaway!! I absolutely love the tole and iron sconces found on 1stdibs. I think they would look darling flanking a kitchen window above the sink. What lovely fixtures to look at while washing dishes! :)

Best giveaway ever! I'm in love with both the trumeau (behind the louis philippe mirror in the photo) and the antique oil painting of a beautiful dog. What a gorgeous, unique store and website. Thanks Joni and Brown.

i loved the mortar and pestle, not only because they are beautiful, but because they are useful--to crush the herbs that i use for paella! my favorite is the light fixture for the give away. i've been looking for an entry light over my round table and this would be perfect. cammie churdar churdar864@charter.net

I absolutely love her shop! I would choose the simple 5 light sconces. They remind me of the time my husband and I took a 8 day date to Rome!!! I saw some that looked similiar. I love the pure beauty of them and it just makes me happy everytime I look at them! Isn't that what our homes should be about?!Kim Thompsonkimthompson94@aol.com

Wonderful shop... I am north of Houston in Conroe so I'll have to check them out. Great giveaway by the way. I browsed and enjoyed the shop in general; but what caught my eye is the hunting dog picture no 001 in the gold frame. I've had a thing for dogs lately.Thanks for the chance to win the beautiful chandelier. Take care.

Probably a good thing for my bank account that I am just now learning about Brown! So many beautiful things! My favorite light fixture is probably the one being featured in the giveaway but if I had to pick a second fave it would be no. 004. I love the greenish tones and the drippy candles!

Such incredible items of beauty! If you want my favorite it is probably Chandelier # .039, but the one from "Light Brown", #.006 is incredibly simple and beautiful as well. If I win, (I can only hope!!!!) my email is pjkinatl@hotmail.com. Thanks for offering such a GREAT giveaway!

I actually am not entering as I won a gorgeous lamp on Art by Karena this week--no need to be greedy! But I just wanted to say how gorgeous and how happy it makes me to see beautiful lights! Beautiful lighting, beautiful experiences with friends...!

OMG!OMG! This chandelier is so beautiful and this look has been in my thoughts for some time. I visited the website and there are so many pretty things in the shop. I wish I could visit your shop. I would pick the beautiful three light sconce no. oo4ff. I read Jill's statement where she said that she would rather have things for her house rather than have personal things for herself. This is the way I am also. I had rather have for example, slipcovers than have gold and diamonds. I want others to enjoy the home warmth that these thing add to a home. Thanks for sharing.Judy tomenglish14@Yahoo.com

I love no. 017 table lamp! Gorgeous! This would be so beautiful in a bedroom, and add such a unique touch. This giveaway is fantastic! I am right in the middle of finally working on my dining room (last room in my house to finish!), so this could not be more perfect timing if I were to win. Crossing my fingers!

I have slowly but surely been changing my house from shabby chic floral to neutral French-inspired and the minute I saw table no.009, I was in love! This would be perfect for my dining area. Of course, the chandelier would look beautiful hanging above it! :) - Maren

I would love love love this fixture. I am excited about finding lovely lighting for my home so I chose the beautiful and very different no. 008ff. as just one of my favorite things. If I win, it's going above my dining room table. Yeah!

What a generous giveaway! We are about to move into a new house--larger than our current--so I'm looking for wonderful pieces that will stand the test of time. No. 008 in the tables is gorgeous! I also love the chandelier in the giveaway!

WOW....I LOVE everything in Brown. How do you pick just one?! The piece that speaks to me personally though is the Vintage Belgian School Chart Showing Pedestrian Safety. This school chart speaks to me because Jill hosted a one of a kind event at her store for Yellowstone Academy, a non-profit school here in Houston. This school chart reminds me of Jill's generosity to Yellowstone and the FUN night we had at Brown for the Yellowstone event. I still hear people talking about that night!!And man, can Jill throw a party!!! If you have never been to an event hosted by Jill... it is a MUST. I bought a light fixture at the Brown-Yellowstone event, and I would do ANYTHING for this fabulous chandelier that you are giving away. I love it... just like I love Jill and Brown!! Leslielesliecarrigan@gmail.com

Wow! Select ONE item? I would need to spend at least an entire day just looking at everything - what an amazing store!

I LOVE the chandelier, in fact I MUST HAVE that chandelier, so please pick me! From the shop, I love all the items in the "mercantile" department. If I had to choose one favorite it would be the rusty-looking one-bulb lantern, number 021 ff. It spoke to me!

what a beautiful store! love all the pictures on the shop site, but i think i like the eye chart as a 'speaks to me personally' pick! not sure why... just has a great feel to it! i LOVE the giveaway light fixture- it would be perfect in my dining room! right now i'm surviving with a spray-painted reject fixture, and a little bit of Brown would make the room really sing! : )

I love the wall sconce no. 005 ff. When I moved into my 200 year old house, I wanted all the hardware, lighting, etc, to have the brushed nickel look. So rather than buy new sconces, I spray painted my historic bronze sconces silver. They are ruined, and I am an idiot! I'm reminded of this everytime I turn on my lights! I'd love to have these sconces to replace them!

Most of all, I love the light fixture in the giveaway. But if I were to choose another favorite, it would be the Hand Forged Wrought-Iron Pendant Light as I love the simplistic tear drop design and have the perfect place to hang it! Kristy Wallkristywall@sbcglobal.net

Wow, Joni! You have outdone yourself! I admired the room you did when you first posted it and it still delights me. As for the giveaway, I admit to being stumped to choose ONE thing, but I managed to do it. I love that sweet oil painting of the dog; #001. And of course, if you want to send everything else, I'd be happy!

This is not the first time I have used Brown for inspiration. I cannot resist the exquisite coral chandelier--#017. Such an elegant look. Thanks, Joni, for such a consistently wonderful blog!purchasing.sal@gmail.com

OOH! I am loving this new (to me) site! I had never heard of Brown since I live on the east coast. Those fixtures speak to me! I would love to have the 4-light hanging lantern #.024ff. It is gorgeous! Of course, there are several others I would like to have, but that's my choice right now. I would love to win the giveaway! It would fit right in with the decor in my colonial home!lorettacampbell51atgmail.com

I love looking at this website... I visit from time to time and wish I lived in Texas! If I have to choose only 1 item that speaks to me "personally" - it would have to be no. 001 under ceiling lighting. The silver chandelier reminds me of my mother. It reminds me of some beautiful silver candlestick holders she had. I would always pick them up and admire them when I was a little girl. I always thought her silver was so pretty and it just takes me back and it is just beautiful! Thanks, Stephanie email: saddington@bellsouth.net

OMG!!! What a fabulous giveaway!!I have to say that everything at Brown is beautiful!!! I loved 003 but honestly my fave is the fixture you are giving away!!! It is EXACTLY what I need for my dining room! Hope I win :)

Joni, I love them all. My favorite is chandelier .019. This is a driftwwod chandelier. This light is just the right mix of materials to give it that surprise I love to find when I walk in. This would look great in my kitchen. Thanks

I passed by Brown today on the way to River Oaks Bookstore and BedBath&Beyond thinking I hadn't stopped by in a while. Then I got home and opened your post...so that means I have to go back and look around. I would choose the "Vintage Belgian Barley Twist Wood Chandelier with Eight Lights." How generous of Jill to do this giveaway!

Hi! What a fabulous store and giveaway! I wish I lived closer - I would love it! It looks like there are many goodies all around, displayed so well & to fit every budget! I enjoyed, so much, reading Jill's "story" under the heading - Vision & Sensibility. I could really identify with a lot of it and I adore how her family have all been involved - just great! You know, I love it all...the light fixtures are so unique, chic,rustic, industrial - love. I adore the wall sconce with the 5 candles -stunning. Thanks!
